Not sure which week you are at but I am told that weeks 1-7 are the most academically demanding. Recycling just gives you an opportunity to be Senior in the upcoming class and a tremendous advantage to study your A & P, Parm Calc, Patho and DREs to the point where you will be quoting doses and b...

I am with Silverback, and I offer you my forgiveness. If it makes you feel better, I once posed to be Spiderman :lol: and now my 3 yr/old son thinks he is :?

I wish some of our DEPS would have the drive you have in trying to understand our community. Charlie Rangers is much different type of book but it will help you understand some of our more mature Veterans in our community.

Good advice Ranger Timmy. These sound like 60/120s Sprint/jog respectively. I would encourage always running beyond 2 miles when trainning. Beginers should shoot for at least 3 miles. This prepares the body for a longer distance and when the APFT arrives your body will be able to breeze through the ...

Special Operations Combat Medic (SOCM) Course

Dose anyone have a link to information about the current program at JSOMTC?

I was wondering what training our Ranger medics go through today prior to being assigned to BN.

Welcome to your journey in becoming a U.S. Army Ranger. It is hard, demanding but extremely rewarding. Work hard, challenge yourself always, maintain a can do positive attitude and NEVER, NEVER QUIT once you decide to begin.

Good luck and Gods speed.

Thanks for your service Doc. When I was in Bn we had an E-5 tabless medic come to us from Korea. So it is possible to get to BN without being born there. However, you will have a stigma to overcome. BN is very competitive and folks are a bit weary towards outsiders. Especially those who don’t have...

Ok stud at age 21 you score is good with the exception of you PUs (see above). When doing PUs you only have to come parallel to the ground. Correction: What I meant to say was that your elbows must be parallel to your chest in the down position, not necessarily parallel to the ground. Another Range...

I administered my own fitness test and for lack of a better word I sucked. My upper body strength needs considerable work compared to my other scores. I think my main problem was going from the style pushups I had used to do, and then doing military ones touching my chest to the ground. Needless to...

Welcome and congratulations on completing HS.

Now stop thanking us for welcoming you and go and read the Q&As and all of the stickys before posting again.

Once you have completed this task tell us more about yourself (your intro sucks) and tell us why you want to be a Ranger.

I apologize most sincerely for not respecting the demands you Rangers set forth. My mom just went through her 3rd divorce and we're on the move again. No excuses though, if I could have a basic idea of what to do for PT that you guys would like to see I'll do it ASAP. I looked around for a bit but ...

Rick, If a 18 y/o stud can set his goal and become a Ranger then a man who has been around the block a few times can do so as well. Most of us when we got to BN were young who had 30 year olds smoking us to the ground (PSGs and 1SGs). You will need to drop 2 minutes on your run though. If you can en...
